splash-proof

Shrugs off droplets

Splash-proof describes something designed to resist damage from water splashed onto it, though not full immersion.

The term applies to electronics, watches, and outdoor equipment that can handle rain or spills but shouldn't be submerged: The speaker is splash-proof, so you can use it by the pool.

Less protection than waterproof.
